scalaj-collection
A library for converting between Java and Scala collections.
Usage
Turn any Scala collection into the corresponding Java collection:
import scalaj.collection.Imports._
List(1, 2, 3).asJava
// returns java.util.List[java.lang.Integer]
Map(1 -> "a", 2 -> "b", 3 -> "c").asJava
// returns java.util.Map[java.lang.Integer, java.lang.String]
Set(1, 2, 3).asJava
// returns java.util.Set[java.lang.Integer]
Turn any Java collection into the corresponding Scala collection:
val list = new java.util.ArrayList[java.lang.Integer]
list.add(1)
list.add(2)
list.add(3)
list.asScala
// returns scala.Seq[Int]
As shown in the above examples, the library also converts between the boxed types of Scala and Java primitives.
You can also use foreach on any Java collection:
list.foreach(print)
// prints "123"
The map, filter, and flatMap methods are still pending.
Requirements
scalaj-collection requires Scala 2.9.x, 2.10.x or 2.11.x
Installation
sbt
If you're using sbt, simply add the following line to your project file:
libraryDependencies += "org.scalaj" %% "scalaj-collection" % "1.6"
